I've learnt that the hard way myself. yup, I just need to razor off more nuclear palys off the main rocks and no more big changes. Then load it with zoas, mushies, and other softies.

FlowerMama Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sorry to hear about your fish. My friend had maxi min, when I saw how fast it snatched up food, I was like, uh no. Much more of a predator than any rock flower. 1 Quote Link to comment

Vidarock but I got crazy algae in both my nano tanks using these rocks. So not sure if I recommend them. They also very hard to find now. Woo hoo! This makes me so happy! have a little upgrade in the works too =P 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 That is a greedy little anemone you have! Have you ever actually seen it eat the fish? Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 That is a greedy little anemone you have! Have you ever actually seen it eat the fish? i have not but after the wrasse went missing, the anemone was retracted back into its hole most of the day. I tried opening it with forcep and flashlight and did not see a dead body in its mouth. The wrasse was fairly small though, like 1 1/2 inches. So was the missing banggai.... 2 Quote Link to comment

I didn't like this because of your eaten fish - but the thought of you using forceps and a flashlight on the nem cracked me up. 2 Quote Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Saltcritters order came. As expected, rics look a little bleached. No biggie, they will color up soon. They are bright yellowish now so they look kinda cool. The acans though were disappointing. Dark brown / orange color. Maybe they will color up more too. If anyone wants to order from them, here's a coupon code for 20% off, "Easy20". One time use. Expires 9/1. 2 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 The new Fluval Evo 12 dimension: 22 x 11.6 x 15 My current Fluval Spec V dimension: 20.5 x 11.6 x 7.5 So I can keep my existing rock and get more room on the side. Right now, the rock is almost touching both glass and it's annoying. Time to upgrade!!! 3 Quote Link to comment

Left to pick up my son from school, back 30 min. later and the mushroom was all puffed up and I could see the fish inside of it . I pulled out the mushroom, forced open the mouth and pulled out my dead fish . Quote Link to comment

They don't even string, how did it paralyze the fish???I don't think it paralyzed it to catch it. This was in my little 12g NC. There wasn't a lot of room in there and the mushroom was really big and stuck to the side glass with rock right in front of it. It was able to close up around the fish before it could get away. I don't know...crazy stuff for sure! The fish was absolutely perfectly healthy though. 1 Quote Link to comment

The fish was absolutely perfectly healthy though. same thing with the anemone. when it stretches, it covers a majority of the rock and can touch the side of the glass. that's why i am upgrading!!!

Spiderguardnano Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Spoke to my lfs and I guess as long as they have a fluval act they can special order it I also contacted fluval on fb and just give you a distributor list on there website so that's what I did just typed in my city and bam Also I'm hoping those mini jebao dc pumps can fit in it. Have you seen them yet? If not I'll have to remove the baffle and glue it more forward like what did on my spec Quote Link to comment
